X2Pro Version 2.1.9 is only available on the Mac App Store. Pricing is $149.99. A lower-cost version, X2ProLE, is also available for users who don't need audio files referenced, media trimmed, or close control of the conversion of roles.

It is available in source code to extend and modify as required and can be customizable without knowledge of programming by editing simple XML setting files. EPP is available as a binary installer and in source form as python scripts hosted at GitHub. Since EPP is released with an unrestrictive NewB- SD license, users are invited to adapt, change and contribute to the project. Software supported in EPP includes 3DS Max, Adobe products, Arri, Avid via Eyeon Connection, Canon, Cinema 4D, Edius, Fusion, Houdini, LightWave, Maya, Nuke, Sony and XSI.
